Core Armor Kit
Reagent cost, the crafted item's lowest listed price and the estimated profit at that price, from current US Auction House listings - recalculated every snapshot.
Crafting estimate at current listings
No real market: too few listings for this price to mean anything yet.
- Reagent cost (lowest listed)
- 3 gold75 silver
- Crafted item, lowest listed price
- 199 gold19 silver
- Auction House cut (5%)
- 9 gold95 silver
- Estimated profit at that listed price
- 185 gold48 silver
Thin market: the crafted item’s lowest listing comes from very few current listings and sits far out of line with reagent cost. Treat this estimate as unverified until more listings accrue.
- Evidence: 6 current listings holding 27 units of the crafted item in the US region. We see listings, not sales, so how many sell and at what price is unknown.

Reading these numbers
At current lowest listed prices the 2 reagents for one craft of Core Armor Kit cost 3 gold75 silver. Most of that is Rune Thread - 2 at 1 gold5 silver each, 2 gold10 silver, 56.0% of the whole basket. Watch that one price and you have watched most of this recipe.
Break-even is 3 gold94 silver - below that listed price the craft loses gold once Blizzard’s 5% cut is taken. The crafted item’s lowest listed price is 199 gold19 silver, which clears it.
At that listed price the gross margin before fees is 195 gold44 silver; the Auction House would keep 9 gold95 silver of a sale, leaving 185 gold48 silver. That is an estimated 4946.1% return on the gold you put into reagents, after the cut has taken 5.1% of the gross.
Listing depth right now: 27 units across 6 auctions region-wide. Depth separates a market price from a single asking figure, but listings are not sales, so read it alongside the estimate.
Costs use each reagent’s lowest listed price; the estimate is the crafted item’s lowest listed price, times the items one craft makes, minus those reagents and Blizzard’s 5% sale cut. Listings are asking prices, not sales. Recalculated every snapshot and left blank rather than guessed when a price is missing. How we estimate crafting profit →
